IIRC, the default targeted policy in Fedora leaves inetd children who do
not have a specific domain defined for them unconfined, as otherwise all
external (outside of Fedora) inetd-based services that lack policy would
immediately break.  The strict policy takes the more conservative
approach for security, at the risk of greater application breakage.
